Hello guys, been a fan of this site for quite some time and have finally taken the plunge in regards to customizing action figure. However I have hit a slight road block with one figure in particular and I was wondering if some one could offer some help. recently I purchased a bulk of cheap action figures based on the recent DC animated films ( Son of batman, Throne of Atlantis etc ) and I am planning on turning them into my own characters from my own short film. I chose these figures as A) They were cheap B) They are streamlined and clean (toon like) which is a look I'm hoping to achieve with my final figures.
Anyway, to cut a long story short I am trying to figure out a way to add a dress/skirt to one of the figures.
What/how do you guys suggest I go about this? I don't want to create the skirt in Milliput that is moulded to the leg, and I don't want it to be a rigged skirt, I want the legs to be able to move. Am I looking at having to create a fabric skirt?
I would be grateful for any ideas/comments/suggestions.
Hey guys, thanks for your help. Ended up making my own Skirt out of some spandex material. I think it worked pretty well. Painting the arms red/smoothly and making sure the joints didn't rub proved to be a bit of a challenge
I added/modified
- Trainers - Fabric Skirt - Fabric cape - Belt - Mask - Ridges to the sleeves/neck line - Smoothed out the pony tail - Smoothed out the breast (As they looked silly before)
All in all it took Three days start to finish as I made three at the same time
How tall are the figures? You might be able to grab some soft goods from other toy lines.I know that some of the Star Wars action figures have fabric skirts/soft goods that are easy to steal.
Please wait...
